We already took virtual trips to Le Parfum and Duft&Kultur in Vienna.
This time I am going to take you to an interesting spot in the sixth district called Saint Charles. It is a pharmacy that includes a boutique for organic, natural skincare, cosmetics and perfume – the Cosmothecary, a day spa called Hideaway and The Alimentary, a small organic restaurant where you can eat or take away delicious and healthy meals made from 100% organic sources. The approach of the founder Alexander Ehrmann seems to be to provide an all-approaches-covered feel-good service to his customers.
The Saint Charles Cosmothecary is a charming little shop all done in white that projects a clean and elegant aura. They offer organic and all-natural brands like Korres, Ren, Dr. Hauschka, The Organic Pharmacy, Weleda and Florame. They also carry their own phyto-therapy product range called Saint.
The Perfumista in me was exited to try the Organic Glam Perfumes, four of the existing five were reviewed by me last Saturday on Perfume Smellin’ Things.
The Hideaway offers the very best in luxury, organic face and body treatments. From the U.K.’s Organic Pharmacy and Neom, to Dr. Hauschka and Saint Cosmetics, to Shiatsu. As if that wasn’t enough, there is also a mini Hammam fitted with mood enhancing Chromatherapy lights, as well as a relaxation & reading room.
Another wonderful feature of the Hideaway is that it is available for “Bespoke Bookings”. Brides to-be, friends, mothers & daughters, or partners, can book simultaneous treatments, or the entire space, including therapists, for the day.
Complimentary refreshments from the Alimentary and a Saint Charles “Goodie-bag” complete the treatments; making the Hideaway, the urban retreat for organic devotees.

I have my eye on the Hideaway to do exactly that – hiding away for some time to re-charge my batteries that seem to be running on low these days.
If I get the chance to go there I will report back of course.
I want to thank a dear friend and faithful Olfactoria’s Travels reader with good connections ( 😉 ) who was kind enough to procure generous samples of the Organic Glam line for me. He is a very talented jewellery designer, check out his work here.

Ooh I love your virtual trips, thanks for taking us with you! I like a lot of those brands and the Hideaway sounds fabulous. Hope you get to go there very soon for a bit of well deserved pampering 🙂
I think I have to go there for a treatment as well and if you manage to hop in there pls buy my alltime fav organic pharmacy carrot butter cleanser it makes even my tired and wrinkled face glow like a teenager
Since I have yet to see a wrinkle on you, I will definitely take a closer look at the Organic Pharmacy line. 😉
Your friend’s work is beautiful! I loved his pearl pieces.
He will be delighted to hear that! I love his pearls the most too. 🙂
Thank you so much for you liking my work……
Love the Hideaway logo a lot!
It is a great logo!
